Dashcam disasters

Norfolk and Suffolk Police have released examples of crashes and astonishing near-misses caught on dashcams to discourage erratic driving.

The forces said they received about 150 videos a month from the public - double the amount from last year.

About 75 per cent of footage has led to drivers being warned, sent on driving courses or dealt with through the courts.

It is becoming more commonplace for drivers to upload their footage directly to the police instead of phoning through incidents.

Dash cam manufacturer, Nextbase, has launched its National Dash Cam Safety Portal, where all road users can easily send video of dodgy behaviour to the relevant police forces via a single online hub. To send in a video click here .

Forces around the country including West Midlands Police, West Mercia and Warwickshire have signed up to the scheme.
